EAST WINDSOR — Revenge was extra sweet for the Nottingham Babe Ruth 15-year-old All-Stars last night.

They found the offense that had been missing for their last two games and combined it with superb pitching in relief by Shane Keledy to romp to their second straight victory in the Southern N.J. State Tournament being held at the East Windsor Sports Complex.

Held to one run in its last two tournament games Nottingham exploded for a 7-2 win over West Windsor-Plainsboro, the team that ousted it from the District One Tournament a week ago.

Bouncing back from a quick 2-0 deficit when starting pitcher Anthony Francioso walked the first three batters he faced and saw two of them score, Nottingham came back to grab a 3-2 lead in the when Keledy singled in the tying run and minutes later Steve Moticha put the boys from Hamilton Square ahead to stay with an RBI single.

The win sends Nottingham, a late addition to the SNJ series after finishing fourth in District One, back here today at 4 p.m. to face Atlantic Shore, which won its first game easily on Thursday by the 10-run rule over Northern Burlington. The game will be broadcast by the WBCB Sports Network on WRRC ‘The Bronc’ (107.7 FM).

WW-P will attempt to stay alive in the double-loss elimination tournament Sunday at 10 a.m. face the survivor of this morning’s Pennsville/Mount Holly game.

WW-P had beaten Nottingham, 4-0, in the districts, 4-0, when five errors led to three unearned runs. This time WW-P committed five errors and left the bases full in the fifth and sixth as Keledy struck out five and survived three walks and the five hits he allowed to pick up his second all-star victory.

“I cleared my mind and didn’t think of the last time we played them because I know they’re a very good team,” said Keledy, who will be a sophomore at Steinert this fall.

“I threw fastballs and curves and mixed in a few changeups,” said Keledy, who helped his own cause with two hits, while Steve Moticha and Frank Lucchesi also had two hits.

“It felt good to get some runs. We’ve been working hard in practice to get our hitting back. It’s contagious because once someone starts hitting everyone follows,” said Keledy.

After being shutout by WW-P in its final district game, Nottingham managed only one run in its 1-0 win over Pennsville here Wednesday.

The big hit for Nottingham last night came in the third when Sean McGeehan hit a 2-run double to left to drive home Francioso who had reached on an error and Ken Zahn who walked. When the outfield relay throw went of play, McGeehan also scored. Steve Moticha singled to open the fourth and scored when Mike Suosso’s grounder was booted two outs later.

“We kept everything the same even though we weren’t scoring,” said manager Tony Francioso, who brought Keledy when his son Anthony suffered an elbow injury while pitching.

With WW-P’s defense faltering behind starter Robbie Huselid who pitched well in defeat, the game was so similar to the way the first Nottingham/West Windsor matchup turned out.

“Sometimes that happens,” said manager Francioso. “You have to have a little luck sometimes.”

Especially when your hitters suddenly start hitting and you get another superb pitching performance.
